Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 252 The Golden Horse Awards? Don't even think about it.
When they returned to the horse farm in the morning, they were already late because Yang Shoucheng and Huo Wenxi had arrived earlier. In addition to them, Yang Shoucheng also brought his godson, Xie Tingfeng.

Chen Shouzhe wasn't embarrassed to return to the horse racing track and face Yang Shoucheng and the others; being late was a common occurrence for him.

He was at a loss when his daughter was fuming. He had promised to spend the whole day with her yesterday, but he didn't see her when he woke up this morning, and she only came back now at almost ten o'clock.

Seeing her adorable, pouting face with her hands on her hips, Chen Shou went up and hugged her tightly.

"Let me go, let me go, I don't want you anymore!" Chen Caiyu shouted, pushing Chen Shouzhe's face away.

"Let's ride high." Chen Shou didn't care about her, supporting her arms as she sat on his shoulders, and she immediately stopped making a fuss, hugging his head.

"Be gentle, my head hurts," Chen Shou said, gasping for breath.

"No, I'm scared." Chen Caiyu grabbed his two tufts of hair tightly. Luckily, Chen Shou still had a lot of hair, otherwise she would have really felt sorry for him.

Seeing Chen Shou carrying his daughter on his back, Yang Shoucheng and the others watched quietly from the side. They had arrived quite early, having eaten breakfast before coming over.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shouzhe did not stay overnight at the horse farm, making them wait for an hour.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, it was too late last night, so I stayed somewhere else."

"It's nothing, the environment here is really nice. Director Chen is a very loving father." Yang Shoucheng was just playing with Chen Caiyu, but unfortunately the little girl didn't appreciate it. She did seem to have a good impression of Nicholas Tse, maybe because he's handsome.

"The little girl is quite clingy. I promised to play with her all day today. How many days will Chairman Yang stay in Beijing this time?" Chen Shou asked.

"Let's go back after the National Day holiday, and then we can travel around the capital," Yang Shoucheng said.

"There will be a lot of people in the capital during the National Day holiday, so you should be careful. However, it's okay to go for a visit in the next few days, but the roads will be difficult to navigate in a few days due to the crowds," Chen Shou said.

"Yes, we'll be playing around for the next few days, Director Chen. The movie has already been filmed," Yang Shoucheng said.

"You must have other reasons for coming to see me," Chen Shou said with a smile.

"They hope the film can win a Hong Kong Film Award," Yang Shoucheng said. Fearing that Chen Shouzhe might object, he quickly added, "It will definitely win an award at the Hong Kong Film Awards this time, and it will be a big one. Please rest assured."

"Heh, the Hong Kong Film Awards." Chen Shou sneered.

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" also went to the Hong Kong Film Awards. What award did it win?

Who won Best Actor?

Zhou Juanjuan.

It's good that a movie like "Let the Bullets Fly" won Best Actor, but the lead actor was Zhou Juanjuan from Hong Kong? Jiang Wen was extremely disappointed back then, Chen Shou was quite normal, but he really disliked the way the Hong Kong media spoke.

Even if you want to step on someone, you should consider who is being stepped on.

Therefore, from then on, films produced by Chan Shou-che could not have any connection with the Hong Kong Film Awards. Jiang Wen also understood this, and there was no longer any connection.

Is it possible to submit his film to the Hong Kong Film Awards now?

Faced with Chen Shouzhe's sneer, even Nicholas Tse sensed that this much younger man was not to be trifled with. He had already witnessed Chen Shouzhe's influence in the mainland film and television industry yesterday. A young man not yet thirty, yet a leading figure in the mainland film and television industry, a self-made billionaire, whose words could make Emperor Entertainment Group's operations in the mainland extremely difficult.

If you don't believe me, you can look at another major media outlet in Hong Kong. Yesterday, he was holding a wine glass and bowing his head to offer a toast, but Chen Shou didn't even look at him. The people around him didn't dare to say anything to him either. He could only drink the glass of wine in one gulp and leave.

He had just been having a great time playing with his daughter, but now she had turned cold and sarcastic, which sent chills down his spine.

"Director Chen!!" Huo Wenxi was about to speak.

"I've already said, my film won't participate in the three major domestic film awards. I have no intention of letting others trample on it. If Emperor Entertainment wants to participate, they can, but they'll have to bear the consequences themselves," Chen Shou interrupted.

“Then we won’t participate. They have indeed gone too far in recent years. There’s no one left in the Hong Kong film industry, and they’re still stuck in their ways. Director Chen, our cooperation remains the same. Just pretend I didn’t say anything earlier and let it go.” Yang Shoucheng immediately said something conciliatory.

Chen Shou's expression softened considerably. He still had his daughter on his head and was clamoring to take her out to play.

After lingering for a while, Yang Shoucheng and his group saw Chen Shou playing with his daughter, and then made an excuse to leave.

The driver, assistant, and secretary were all in the van. Two cars arrived, and the three of them sat in the back. The interior of the van was spacious and the seats were comfortable. The atmosphere inside was a bit tense.

"Boss, I told you long ago, there's no need to go to him. He'll never agree," Huo Wenxi said with a wry smile.

“We still have to try, even though we know it’s impossible. But what if we do? Hong Kong’s film industry is already in decline. They’ve been calling for things to move north for ten years, but those people are still stubbornly clinging to their ways, treating the mainland like country bumpkins. They haven’t changed a thing over the years, remaining obstinate. I’m getting old, and I hope Hong Kong films can go further. There aren’t many people on the mainland who can help Hong Kong. Chen Shouzhe is one of them who is still willing to cooperate with us. It seems we went too far last time. I won’t say another word for them in the future.” Yang Shoucheng sighed.

Nicholas Tse didn't say anything. It wasn't his place to interrupt the conversation between the two of them. Besides, it had nothing to do with him. In his opinion, the Hong Kong film and television industry was really not good anymore, and he couldn't get any resources from the mainland.

This is why both sides were shocked when the film studio announced its collaboration with Emperor Entertainment.

The status of Shouzhe Pictures in China is self-evident, and being able to cooperate with Chen Shouzhe means success.

The cake was enough to make the entire Hong Kong film and television industry envious, but some people felt that Chan Sau-man needed Hong Kong, which is why he cooperated with Hong Kong.

They should be manipulating Chen Shouzhe and using him to elevate the status of the Hong Kong film and television industry, and to demonstrate their position to the mainland film and television industry.

The reaction from the mainland was that they felt Chen Shouzhe had been too good to them and that Hong Kong capital should be stifled, not given any chance.

It seems the only option is to beg them for cooperation, rather than actively seeking them out and letting them become arrogant.

It must be based primarily on mainland Chinese film and television capital.

This collaboration, which involved actors from Hong Kong, has angered many people on the mainland. Even Han Sanping called Chen Shouzhe, feeling that Chen Shouzhe was helping Hong Kong and whether he intended to reorganize Hong Kong's capital and take over Hong Kong.

A group of self-important people in Hong Kong thought they could control Chen Shouzhe and treated him like Feng Xiaogang.

On the mainland side, the view is that Chen Shou is trying to take over Hong Kong's capital and support Hong Kong's film and television capital in the future, thereby swallowing them up and becoming stronger.

Yang Shoucheng genuinely hoped that Hong Kong could become better and that the market could be more open. Unfortunately, some old fogies were still alive and basking in their former glory, which meant they were destined to suffer a terrible end.

Not only did they not try to win over Chen Shouzhe, but they also tried to control him. They're asking for trouble.
